The loss of Saturn from the General Motors corporate family was a bit tragicand#44; but it also created an instant classic like this 2008 Saturn Sky roadster. With low production numbersand#44; a cool convertible bodyand#44; and all the modern conveniences you could wantand#44; this is the affordable way to enjoy a car today and keep a classic for tomorrow. Aiming to be a lighter and more nimble companion to the Corvetteand#44; the Saturn Sky has all the great performance design cues we all love – the long hoodand#44; scalloped fendersand#44; sleek profileand#44; and short rear deck. Plusand#44; Saturn was really doing a great job with their styling of the front end that was sporty and friendly at the same time; the chrome windshield surround that paid tribute to their best muscle cars; and everyone loves the dual buttresses that meet the headrests. All of this is straight from the factoryand#44; just like well preserved Chili Pepper Red paint and the shiny 18-inch alloy wheels. Saturn had some of the best interiors towards the end of its run. Most of their components were borrowed from the German brand Opeland#44; and as a resultand#44; this American-made roadster had a very European feel. Youll enjoy the appearance of the piano black accents during the dayand#44; and at night the yellow glow of the dual pod gauges will be very easy on your eyes. The black leather interior is built around the driving experience with supportive bucket seatsand#44; a grippy three-spoke steering wheeland#44; and armrests at the perfect driving height. There are signs of useand#44; but this is far from a daily driver appliance. This is loaded with all the right featuresand#44; including power windowsand#44; power locksand#44; dual air bagsand#44; keyless entryand#44; cruise controland#44; and a powerful AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input that can be heard with the top down. Best of alland#44; the air conditioner remains ice-cold so you can keep it open to the world longer through the summer. Under the hood is the original 2.4-liter fuel-injected motor. Unmodified and maintained properly all its life means its reliability is uncompromised. This peppy and powerful DOHC motor was chosen to be the answer to those who thought the Corvette needed to ditch old pushrod technology. In this lightweight setupand#44; the Sky delivers the kind of performance youd expect in a Japanese or European import but wrapped in American styling. This sporty spirit is felt every time you hit the open the road. The five-speed automatic with overdrive always seems to be in the right gearand#44; and the fully independent suspension loves every corner. Add in great anytime features such as power steering and four-wheel disc brakesand#44; and this is an unbeatable driving package. Complete with owners manualand#44; this is a fun and easy way to get a great car to hang onto for years to come. There are many times we say I wish I would have bought one back when it was so affordable. That opportunity is now. Call today!!! |
